Wed 12 Dec 2008Funeral told of life 'pitted with unhappiness'
Rebecca Hoban's life had been "pitted with unhappiness" but she would be remembered for her great generosity and the way she cared deeply about people, her funeral was this morning.
Fr Bernard Murphy described the manner of Ms Hoban's death as "terrible" and said that as he had been opening the church on the Thursday morning before Christmas, one of the neighbours had came to him and advised him to go to Ms Hoban's family home.
